Thankful for chocolate

Oh, chocolate! How I love thee, let me count the ways!

Yes, chocolate and I have a long and passionate history.

"What you see before you, my friend, is the result of a lifetime of chocolate." 

- Katherine Hepburn

And though I still love me some M&Ms, Snickers, etc. Over the years, my tastes have vastly improved and grown and cost a lot more.

Nobody knows the truffles I've seen.

In the beginning, the Lord created chocolate, and he saw that it was good. Then he separated the light from the dark, and it was better.

And then of course, there are the baked goods...

"Let's face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me."

— Audrey Hepburn

"Chocolate is a perfect food, as wholesome as it is delicious, a beneficent restorer of exhausted power. It is the best friend of those engaged in literary pursuits."

- Baron Justus von Liebig

And really, I could go on and on and on. But truthfully, I'm so tired, I'm practically falling asleep on the keyboard. (The Baron would say eat some chocolate but I'm already in bed, I don't want crumbs in the sheets.) I was up very late last night finishing a project. I don't even remember exactly when I got to bed. This post is not at all what I had in mind, other than the topic. So I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the quotes and maybe you even drooled a bit and decided you needed to go find some chocolate. If so, my work here is done.

"Make a list of important things to do today. At the top of your list, put "eat chocolate." Now, you'll get at least one thing done today."
